The key to MSP success is the ability to add new managed service customers every month, by demonstrating value. Unfortunately, many MSPs struggle with sales and find it difficult to generate new business, often coming up against objections to price.

Forrester’s survey of IT leaders tasked with competing in a global and ever-changing marketplace found that many businesses are implementing direct-to-Internet connections. As businesses go direct-to-Internet, they realize the need to bulk up security for branch offices. In addition to appliances, many decision-makers are considering as-a-service offerings.

New MSP customers bring old problems. While you work hard to introduce proactive processes, you’re obligated to fight immediate fires. Learn how to onboard new customers quickly, accelerating their satisfaction and your profitability.

Today’s advanced threats exploit weaknesses in our ability to distribute and enforce the intelligence we collect. Learn how you can leverage an integrated security platform to collaborate more simply and secure all devices more effectively.

MSPs succeed by standardizing and automating IT processes across their customer base. The Centralized Settings feature in Umbrella for MSPs provides a simple and powerful way to create and manage settings that are shared among multiple customers.

The enterprise landscape we work and live in is quickly changing.The security best practices of the last 25 years seem obsolete when your people are outside the perimeter and their apps are in the cloud. A new security stack is emerging that enables freedom for users AND control for IT.

Our networks, devices, identities, and data have shifted out of the perimeter and into new cloud and mobile platforms. To address these changes, a new security stack has emerged. Learn how OpenDNS is part of this stack.

Dima Kumets, Sr. Product Manager at OpenDNS, and Eric Rockwell, CIO/principal at centrexIT, to discuss how MSPs can get customers onboard with the security they really need, bundled into their managed service offerings. Plus, learn how this OpenDNS partner has leveraged advanced cloud security to open new revenue opportunities by increasing the value of his managed service.

OpenDNS conducted a multi-month study on the prevalence of IoT devices in enterprise networks and recently released a full report on his findings. In this webcast, Andrew Hay, Director of Security Research at OpenDNS, will walk through the key findings and what you can do today to better protect your network.

We can’t afford to wait on first collecting a threat sample, a binary file or an exploit. To stay ahead of the pace of technology change and the velocity of new threats, security solutions need to predict where unknown malware, botnet and phishing attacks will originate on the Internet.

Network (firewall) and endpoint (antivirus) defenses react to malicious communications and code after attacks have launched. Learning all the steps of an attack is key to understanding how OpenDNS can bolster your existing defenses.

Not all attacks are alike. The damage caused by targeted attacks (e.g. DarkHotel) is the most costly because attackers steal or manipulate specific data from specific businesses. The volume of similar security events associated with these attacks will be lowest, whereas the sophistication of attackers’ code and communications will be the highest. Inversely, the damage by widespread attacks is often quite low per victim, which includes both end users and businesses. The volume and sophistication per attack is often flipped. And then there are attacks somewhere in between. Different security methods are required to combat different attacks.

From inception, OpenDNS has provided cloud-delivered, DNS-based Web security for millions of Internet users around the world. Here are a few of our milestones to building the world’s largest Internet security network.

Awareness of cloud services usage is critical as more MSP customers move their data to the cloud. The Cloud Services Report provides you with a more complete picture of your customers’ usage and security.

Over 200 higher education organizations rely on OpenDNS to deliver fast, secure access across campuses and reduce malware infections—all with a cloud infrastructure and minimal maintenance for IT staff to handle.

MSPs succeed by standardizing and automating IT processes across their customer base. The Centralized Settings feature in Umbrella for MSPs provides a simple and powerful way to create and manage settings that are shared among multiple customers.

Wiping out rogue, non-secure cloud applications, minimizing client risk, and improving client productivity — all in a day’s work for an MSP, right? Learn how Matt Henderson, President of Litzia, leverages eFolder and OpenDNS to proactively manage risk and improve his clients’ experience.

As the use of cloud services has exploded in the SMB market, MSPs need to know how to secure their clients’ data and minimize the threat of rogue applications. Learn how to improve client security in this exclusive eFolder and OpenDNS webinar.​

We’re going to demonstrate how we can visualize Internet infrastructures for visibility into where attacks will emerge. Then, we’ll know where advanced malware will be downloaded and where compromised systems will callback—before attacks launch.

Would you know if your current security is effective at combating targeting attacks? If you’re a security team of one and cannot remediate every infected device today, which ones should you prioritize?

Doyle said that his team finds value in the increased network visibility provided by Umbrella because they are able to focus on threats that pose the greatest risk to employee devices and company data.

By stopping the virus from phoning home, OpenDNS stopped Cryptolocker from executing on machines, rendering it completely useless even after it was installed. ‘Since we’ve put OpenDNS in, I haven’t had a single issue with viruses—and my life, as far as viruses and malware and botnet activity, is better than I could have imagined it.”

Pennoni needed a lightweight solution that would work anywhere without putting too much strain on their network and OpenDNS’s cloud-based approach was an excellent fit. “We picked up OpenDNS for malware detection because it could work immediately,” Mr. Slora says. “For a low price, we got control over our traffic plus malware filtering.” Switching to OpenDNS was simple as well: “basic deployment is dead easy,” says Mr. Slora. “You change your DNS and you’re done.”

“As soon as we turned on the malware filter, it showed us not only the internal IP address, but also the user it was coming from.” In contrast to the convoluted firewall logs, “OpenDNS helped us view our network traffic clearly–showing us the malicious traffic, and allowing us to hone in on the infected PC.”

By deploying OpenDNS to all its customer endpoints, Mirus was able to proactively protect its customers and significantly decrease time spent on dealing with infected machines. This reduced the overall infection count and slashed the number of rebuilds it needed to make by 40%. Just counting the decrease in these rebuild hours, Mirus saved £60,000 per year in engineering costs.

To protect your systems, it’s not enough to know the threat tactics – you have to understand the attackers and their purposes. By knowing who they are and what they want, you’re better prepared to anticipate assaults and apply strategies against them.

As our cyber-environments play ever more important roles in our real world, we can anticipate comparable increases in cyber-attacks as well. The following chart presents a handy, at-a-glance reference of the most important cyber-security strategies: the tactics involved, the advantages gained, and the challenges that require further vigilance.

Ethan Tancredi, President of MySherpa, offers insight into the relationship between OpenDNS and our MSP partners. Taking less than 30 minutes to deploy to each of his clients, Tancredi has incorporated Umbrella to improve customer security and help save engineering time.

Creating an effective network security infrastructure can be daunting, complex and expensive. But it doesn’t have to be. Watch the Umbrella webcast and discover how to easily deploy, manage and scale comprehensive Internet security campus wide, without costly hardware or software.
